Maybe the NFL wants to go global. They should take a lesson from Hollywood about what happens to your product when you neuter it for global consumption.

Of course they do. The league of American football was a failed attempt to do just that. The games in London are another step in that direction. Fine with me.

Suspect they may be doing this and why they are so clueless .

In London today , they stood for the British flag but the Paki owner and his thugs trashed the us flag .

Well, finally, I've met someone who shares my suspicion.

TPTB in the NFL want to morph it into a global thing that's kinda football... dumbed down and crude to attract macho, untrained third world players, scattered about the globe to appeal to a bloodthirsty market like soccer hooligans. Kinda like team MMA, but with a casualty count like Rollerball. So what. Forget that old country with all those laws.

Concussion problem?

No Problem!

They're going to have a new sport, where the heroes are truly disposable. By the time these guys are in their late 20's they'll be too messed up to do anything physical, including work.

No problem though, mom's taken care of, at least that's what El Jefe says.

You heard it here first.
